Cardano founder has cut a Twitter user down to size after a question about “claiming to be Satoshi” in the past
Crypto YouTuber Alexander Lorenzo announced that he was negotiating an interview with Cardano creator and Ethereum network co-founder Charles Hoskinson and offered his followers to suggest questions to ask Hoskinson.
Twitter user chaddydill.eth asked what he believed to be an uncomfortable question both for Lorenzo and for Hoskinson. Charles responded right in that thread, cutting the anonymous Twitter down to size.
“Why did he (Hoskinson) pretend to be Satoshi?”
The anonymous Twitter user asked why Hoskinson pretended to be Satoshi in the early 2010s when he was working on Ethereum with Vitalik Buterin, Joe Lubin and other ETH co-founders.
Hosk chose to respond this immediately without waiting to be asked during the potential interview. He advised the curious person not to believe everything he reads on the Internet or in books about the history of crypto and denied ever claiming to be the BTC creator.
In particular, Hosk mentioned that in 2009, when the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto released Bitcoin, he was only 20 years old.
Hoskinson invited to explain crypto for US commodities regulator
On Friday, June 17, the founder of IOG and Cardano tweeted that he had received an official invitation from the US Committee on Agriculture to talk about blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
The Committee of Agriculture was established in 1820 to regulate commodities which were mainly cultivated products like wheat, corn, etc. After 1974, when the CFTC was launched, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission began overseeing commodity futures trading.
Hence now, crypto future trading is also regulated by the CFTC which is linked to the aforementioned Agriculture Committee. Bitcoin and Ethereum have been officially considered commodities for a few years now.
Hoskinson’s speech will take place on June 23 next week and will be streamed live on YouTube for anyone interested to watch.
